All
this talk about immigration and rejecting refugees avoiding the
conflict in Syria , mainly because they are Muslim when here in the
united states it is well known we have a substantial Muslim population
that contribute as much or more than most and have to remain silent for
fear of retaliation from others in society who take a dim view of their
religion.
One of the things that makes this nation
great is our freedoms. One of which you will defend to all ends, is the
second amendment , and the right to bear arms while our school children
die at the hands of idiots with guns both legal and illegal to the
point our schools look like prisons, and their is talk of including
bullet proof glass in them, Another is freedom of religion, and at this I
guess we need to add another amendment which states, it is free as long
as you re not Muslim.
Our ability to accept refugees and
their contribution to our government is well documented and i will
include a few examples:
Albert Einstein was a refugee,
Henry Kissinger was also a refugee fleeing German persecution. , Donald
Trump's grandfather was also a German immigrant, Charles Lindbergh's
father immigrated from Sweden, Werner Von Braun credited with the
development of the v-2 rocket used against Britain in World War 2 , and
built with slave labor , who later became a prominent physicist and one
of the early developers of modern space rocketry was a naturalized
citizen, and the list is long and varied as to their contribution
The point is which immigrant are we going to leave behind and how
might he contribute to our great country? With the exception of
Frederich Trump who by the way was an immigrant from Germany building
housing for the war effort against Germany for the United States
government at no doubt a profit. By what basis are you going to say who
should stay , and are you becoming a racist also, i doubt you have much
native Indian blood in you.
Not all immigrants are bad for the
country, most are so thankful to be out of that hell hole and are
willing to do anything to get a start. We created this mess by sticking
our nose in places we didn't belong, and now we are going to stick that
same nose in the air, and deny these people we helped displace, the
same rights you enjoy.
Yes we have to help our own first, and
take care of our veterans and the aged . these too are being denied
benefits or having them stripped away by our own elected officials. This
is an internal problem and created by the elected populace that
represents us. The same ones who want to start a war against radical
army who will run and hide under their own citizens like scared rabbits
when confronted. We need to look long and hard at our politicians and
ask them is this necessary and how many more lives need to be lost ,
both innocent civilians and servicemen to prove what? There is profit in
conflict. We already knew that. Get out and vote and change what you
can. 35 percent of the population isn't a good voter turnout. If you
don't vote except at a presidential election , you have a limited right
to bitch, and less if you don't vote at all.
And finally summation i have to say:
It is tragic what happened in France but as one post i read says; If you sow seeds to the wind of change, then you need to also be able to weather storm it might create. A little history of the French and what happened in Algeria where 45000 Muslims were slaughtered after World War 2 . If this happened today there would surely be talk of war crimes, back then nothing was said or very little.this is much more tragic then what happened to France lately.
Karma sucks only in this case, because it happened to humans on a personal level , not only French citizens but to all who were there the night of the terrorism. The french are pissed and rightly so, but some of it was brought on by their indifference to the people who dont believe the way they do,and who could care less if one American was in the crowd. They wanted to make a statement and in efffect created a war on Muslims in general . Many who did not participate that night , but are being lumped together due to their religion or because of their nationality.
It is a black mark on Islam, and due to the social media blowing it up as it is now the the next thing to hate behind the rebel flag. It is a lot harder to understand, than to hate and let our gut reaction at what happened reflect on all of Islam, and the peoples of war torn syria seeking an escape from the war and poverty. what would you do in the same situation, would you stay in a place that continues to escalate the war talk or would you move your family somewhere else to escape the terror of losing your family to an errant French bomb? You too would would want to go somewhere else.
But where would you go . Like Mexico faces a a fence, these people are at the mercy of other nations with radicals much worse than Donald Trump ever could be and hell of a lot less understanding. they need our help now more than ever.
I am not supporting ISIS , instead i am saying we need to think this situation out carefully before we alienate a mass of people who are already embedded in our society and not let hate dictate our will to war against them. finally i will leave with you pictures of how the past treated Muslims before and in an effort to make sure these people are treated fairly consider what France did to them before. all the pictures of France's terrorism pales in comparison to these atrocities.

i would like to say it is not America's problem but it is as we share the same air, we are just on opposite sides of the same pond. we ned to face our problems with Muslims with understanding and not condemnation as a group together. ISIS is only a small faction. lets not whip up the frenzy of war talk as it may be your son or daughter fighting there.
